What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the ease of application and immediate visual improvement, with many noting it sweeps smoothly, hardens quickly, and prevents weeds effectively. However, a substantial portion report significant durability issues—the sand washes away in rain, loosens in joints, and blows out entirely, sometimes within weeks despite following instructions. Some experience inconsistent performance between batches and note that power washing removes the sand, limiting maintenance options. While most appreciate the neat appearance and color options, weather resistance remains a major concern that divides customer satisfaction.

Would RecommendI had to reset the pavers in my patio. Normally I would just use regular paver sand, but I saw this polymeric option. After reading about it, I was hoping that it would be more of a permanent solution, and it is holding up well so far.

Keeps stoned in place
Would RecommendSweeping this poly sand into the cracked and crevasses of pavers and wetting it down keeps them from moving. It does a good job.

Poor product
Would Not RecommendDon’t waste your money on this product. If I could give it a zero, I would. I bought this thinking it would be simple to use than sand. We applied PermaSand last fall and It appears to not work. We had weeds growing out of the spaces between the bricks like I’ve never seen. It took an entire day to remove. Previously I had used a 2 - $3 bag of sand which lasted several years, which I will go back to. Now I have to remove the PermaSand, which will be a messy job.. Hopefully this review will prev...

Weed control
Would RecommendThis was easy to brush into the spaces between the cracks, sweep and dampen once removed from the surface. Time will tell how well it holds up.

Great solution
Would RecommendI added a walkway from my patio to the far end of my garage. I tried years ago to make a sidewalk using pavers and adding mortar mix into the gaps. The mortar mix dried out and cracked loose. This dry mix is so easy to use. The dry paver mix really got into the small crevices. I learned to at first spray a mist onto the mix once it is in place. Wait five minutes and do it again. After that, I could use more water without washout problems.

GREAT PAVER MAINTENANCE PRODUCT
Would RecommendOver time, paver set deteriorates and needs to be replaced to prevent weeds from growing between pavers. After cleaning out old paver set/dirt/sand/weeds from between pawers, I just broomed this porous product across the pavers, cleaned off the excess, and hosed gently with a garden hose to cause it to harden. Next day it looks good as new!!

Easy to use
Would RecommendSakrete is easy to use, just be sure to remove all sand from the surface of your pavers or it will stick and be difficult to remove once water is applied.

Paver Set- New install
Would RecommendThis product was used for a new home DIY install patio. Very happy this far with the results! Easy to use, seems very efficient. *Online video tips are highly recommended. Lots of other products claim to be “the best”. Sakrete Paver Set is economical and does what it says it should. We’ll see how it holds up for the long haul.
